Tatami

From the Birkenstocks family comes Tatami. In Japan, tatami, mats of woven straw covered with rushes and hemmed with cloth, have been an integral part of the culture for over a thousand years. Tatami were originally associated with privilege, luxury, and comfort as only exalted members of society sat upon them. The use of tatami became widespread, allowing all within the Asian culture access to the spiritual, medicinal, and comforting properties of this beautiful mat. Through the use of tatami, Japanese gave birth to a unique lifestyle, a lifestyle from which Tatami footwear draws its name.

Tatami builds on Birkenstocks´ 230 years of tradition and shoemaking craft to produce footwear that is unmatched in comfort and style. The core of Tatami is a footbed that mixes cork and latex with layers of jute to provide cushioning, shock absorption, and stability. The anatomically correct shape provides unmatched comfort and promotes healthy feet. Even the leather uppers are tanned using environmentally friendly methods.

Step into Tatami shoes and discover the well-being, tranquility, comfort, and unmistakable natural character that goes into making them. Tatami is a lifestyle of everyday luxury and modern style with time-tested construction. Join the lifestyle with Tatami.
